Your Top 5 TV Shows

[doulos]

Not a list of 5, but some to add:

Seinfeld (even though I hate him now)
Simpsons (even though it might be one of the worst on TV now)
Freaks and Geeks
Louie
Mad Men
Malcolm in the Middle
Survivor
Jeopardy!
Golden Girls

Jeopardy and Survivor are two of my favorites as well - I still watch every season of Survivor, and the last few seasons have been some of the best yet. I don't have cable TV or anything, so I watch Jeopardy online whenever the episodes come out, but I try and watch every single one of those as well!

My top 5 would probably be (in no particular order)

Star Trek: TNG
Survivor
Jeopardy


Actually that's all I can think of. I watch so very little television and the few series that I have watched start to finish (Alias, and Lost) have left me wishing I hadn't wasted my time in the end, by the way they ended.

I attempted Breaking Bad but only made it 3 episodes into it and never went back. I find cop shows and lawyer shows all fomulaic and pretty boring, but it's clearly my own issues since many of those types of shows are huge hits. I hate sitcoms and have rarely found them funny (WKRP was one of the exceptions. Maybe Cheers as well)

My all-time list is too tough so I'll go with my 5 favourites still on TV right now.

Fargo
Boardwalk Emire
Suits
Walking Dead
House of Cards

[MarmotKing]

My picks would be:

1. Friends (watched all season so many times and still laughs)
2. Breaking Bad
3. Dexter
4. The Big Bang Theory
5. The Walking Dead

Also worth mentioning : Death Note (awesone anime)

[Rylant]

Battlestar Galactica
The Shield
MASH
Game of Thrones
Deadwood (would have been higher. Season 1 and 2 were brilliant, but the way the show ended was such a let down. Al Swearengen is perhaps the best written and performed TV character of all time.)

Holy s-word, I left out 2 important ones:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (maybe my favorite)
Trailer Park Boys (lost its appeal after the first 3 seasons or so, but still!)

[Daydream Nation]

Holy s-word, I left out 2 important ones:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (maybe my favorite)

It's Always Sunny... is awesome. I find myself watching old episodes on Netflix all the time. The McPoyles are great.

It hurts my everything to know that more people out there are watching The Big Bang Theory and equally painful shows while beauties like this are out there...

[Ed.]

These aren't in any particular order, but:

Deadwood
Walking Dead
Hell on Wheels
True Detective (so far anyway)
Star Trek TNG. Haven't watched it in years, but really enjoyed it when I was young. I should see if it's on Netflix.

[mojavedesert]

I have not owned a TV in several years so my favourites are from my youth.

1. Hockey Night in Canada
2. The Prisoner
3. Star Trek
4. Get Smart
5. Scooby Doo

Oh hell, how did I forget about M*A*S*H, probably a 1A,1B situation with HNIC.

[hockeyrobot]

1. Breaking Bad
2. LOST
3. Arrested Development
4. Game of Thrones
5. Community?

[MXHockey]

1. Alf
2. Family Ties
3. Growing Pains
4. Full House
5. The Facts of Life


I'll post my serious list after putting some thought into it. Cheers.

1. LOST - By far my all-time favorite show. Enjoyed every second of it. Oh how I miss that speculation. No other show has gotten me so hooked and involved.
2. Stargate SG-1 - RDA rocks!
3. Seinfeld - Funny as hell.
4. Supernatural - Great show.
5. Battlestar Galactica - Got slow into it but it grew on me as it went on.

Very tough to put together that list. Didn't even realise there'd be so much sci-fi on it. Probably should have included 'Friends' somehow as well as but all the re-runs have taken a bit of a toll on it. 'The Wire', 'The Office (US version)', '24', 'Boston Legal', 'Psych', 'The Walking Dead'... plenty of others that could be on the list.

Edit. Oh how could I forget 'Game of Thrones'. It's getting near the second spot on the list.
